“The government appealed to the Supreme Court against my previous decision authorizing the changes to the request to continue this case,” said the order. “For any reason, the government was not taken up by the Supreme Court.”
The Prime Minister at the meeting said that the government was in no way negligent with regard to the case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.
The government previously provided diplomatic and legal assistance in the case of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a press release published by the PM office.
In addition, the Prime Minister did not only write a letter to the American president Joe Biden, but also trained a committee led by the Federal Minister of Law and Justice, Azam Nazeer Tarar, to ensure new progress in the issue.
The Committee will remain in contact with Dr. Fouzia Siddiqui and will work to provide the necessary support in this regard, added the press release.
